McARTHUR, Ohio — The First National Bank of Wellston says a bad GPS navigator is the reason it
repossessed the wrong house and threw out all the possessions inside.

The bank said the house it meant to clean out was on the same street.

Homeowner Katie Barnett has said her McArthur home was wrongly repossessed while she was away
with her family last month. When they returned to the house, the locks had been changed and many of
their belongings were missing.

Barnett wants the bank to give her $18,000 for the lost items.

First National CEO Anthony Thorne has said Barnett is making claims that don’t match what the
bank’s employees removed.
